Chevron Expands Line of Premium Cetus Compressor Oils

SAN RAMON,
CA--July 17, 2013: Chevron
Products Company, a Chevron U.S.A. Inc. division, maker of
technologically advanced engine oils, lubricants and coolants, today
announced it has expanded its line of Cetus-branded compressor
oils.
Cetus PAO and the rebranded Cetus HiPerSYN (formerly HiPerSYN)
have
joined Cetus DE to create a family of premium compressor oils
formulated for use in a wide range of applications, including
portable
and stationary rotary screw, rotary vane, and reciprocating
compressors.

“We saw the need to create a family of premium compressor
oils and
evaluated our existing product portfolio to determine the proper path
to
take”

"We saw the need to create a family of premium
compressor oils and
evaluated our existing product portfolio to determine the proper path
to
take," said Jeff Snyder, Industrial Brand Specialist,
Chevron Products
Company. "We have developed our new Cetus PAO product
and joined it with
the rebranded Cetus HiPerSYN and our original Cetus oil, Cetus DE.
This
combination of products gives our customers a single family of
premium
compressor oils that meet their varied needs while helping to extend
equipment life and improve operational efficiency."

Cetus PAO oils are designed to meet the requirements of modern
higher
output, more efficient air compressors. These units are more compact
and
operate at higher speeds than older compressors, resulting in higher
temperatures.

Cetus PAO (ISO 32, 46, 68, 100, 150) Benefits:

Exceptional thermal and oxidation stability

Long machinery life and maximum compressor efficiency

Long drain intervals

Minimal maintenance and downtime

Low volatility and excellent air release tendency

Cetus HiPerSYN Oils are designed to meet the needs of most air
compressor applications, especially those with wide operating
temperature ranges that may challenge non-synthetic oils. These
higher
viscosity grade products are especially effective in high temperature
applications, such as industrial bearings and gears that require
R&O-type synthetic gear oil and sootblowers.

Cetus HiPerSYN Oils are formulated with premium base oil
technology
and enhanced by a unique additive system that provides thermal and
oxidation stability, high viscosity index, high flash point, low pour
point, anti-wear protection, and excellent hydrolytic stability.
Cetus
HiPerSYN Oils also protect against the formation of oxidation
byproducts
and acidic materials which can eventually cause deposits and varnish,
rust, oxidation, and foaming.

Cetus HiPerSYN Oils (ISO 32, 46, 68, 100) Benefits:

Long lubricant life in high temperature operations

Long machinery life and maximum compressor efficiency

Long drain intervals

Minimal maintenance and downtime

Minimal oil consumption

Proven performancein rotary screw air compressors
manufactured
by major OEMs including Sullair and Quincy as well as Diamond Power
soot blowers.

Cetus DE oils are synthetic diester-based, oxidation resistant
compressor oils for use in portable and stationary rotary screw,
rotary
vane, and reciprocating compressors. These oils excel in applications
that cannot tolerate carbon build up, and perform extremely well in
high
temperatures.

Cetus DE oils have a low sludge-forming tendency and a high
solvency
for deposits that help keep compressor parts clean. Cetus DE oils
provide a greater margin of safety than conventional petroleum
products
because their flash points, fire points, and auto ignition
temperatures
are much higher.

Cetus DE (ISO 32, 68, 100, 150) Benefits:

Long life

Ignition safety

Minimal oil consumption
